I don't live far from you guys and I built a frame with 8 1/2 foot pontoons to float my can am which I no longer have. Would love to see it on your channel floating mud life!

How did Doug make it the whole video without someone inflating that life vest on him!! 😆
Call it what U want... I'm just happy this sxsblog vid didn't end in destruction or crashes or roll-overs or blown engines. All jokes aside, love the content, keep up the good work. Get those barrels 6-8" lower and it should lift the wheels/car high enough in the water to actually propel it and not slow it down. And try driving it backwards, you might actually have some steering.
I love seeing creative ways to get Doug a bath.
If you mount an outboard motor on the back, use sea-doo steering cables to hook up to the steering column on the Ranger so you don’t have to have two people driving and they can work in conjunction with the front tires to steer

You could also use a remote switch, then you could drive it from anywhere in the car and not have anyone in the driver seat.
Best part 80’s montage 👍👍 🎶 🎶🔥🔥 floating ranger was pretty cool too
SXS mini boat next. I demand it!
I ain't got the money for a SxS but I've been watching for years. because you guys are from Michigan love the content !
try a set of paddle tires and see how good that works
Gotta get some tall paddle tires for mud life, then you will have more cruising speed in the water haha
There are times I have to remind myself that Doug is an engineer and probably quit a six figure job to do what he loves.

A while back it was explained when Doug decided to devote all of his time to the channel. Pretty sure I remember his profession mentioned a few times in much older videos as well.

Had a pretty shitty day until I watched this vid! I mean the energy you guys had when arriving at the lake… You guys are the best!
I'm ABOUT this build!!
I love the 80s metal montage music!!
The early 90s adrenaline music!!!! Lmao!!! Makes me wanna drink a budweiser while running on a beach with 90s pam anderson towards my fighter jet where flash gordon (sam jones) is my copilot!!
you guys have restored my faith in humanity, the utv humanity.... i have literal tears.... of pure f****ing joy!!
That 80's montage music was so good Leo used the whole song! lol Great Vid!
this is the best episode that I have seen so far.

Loved the 80s rock while assembling the barrelts
I love it when a plan comes together!
I love this video. Remove the rear barrelt, add one more barrelt to each side, extend the sides out to make it wider to possibly have a platform on, then mount and outboard on the rear. And maybe plastic barrelts instead. Thanks for your content.

Good ole trolling motor wired right in shoulda been already thought of for the test run haha
You gays are really crazy and funny! Following you all way from Fortaleza, Ceará - Brazil!!!
Awesome boat boys!! Mount a weed eater down each side with propellors on them. Rear passengers could operate them! Classic!
We love you guys in a non weirdo way
Put sand paddles on it to help with propulsion maybe?
I have to pause the video, that was the best montage EVER!!!
We use to submerge two aluminum rocket fuel tanks about the size of a drum on a stainless rack to chem mill the outside of them and had to use two 55 gal. drums of water to sink them.
That looked like a total blast...I would bet Ostacruiser would Say it needs Assassinators. They would propel you.. Thanks for the video..👍✌️
That bed looks like a good spot for a paramotor and air rudder.
Love the 80's montage music!
You guys have been killin it with the vid ideas lately
Lovin the A-Team/Macgyver build montage!! 😂
🤟 good stuff!! Go Twin outboard!
That water looks so clear!
Couple sprockets and a jack shaft off the drive shaft. Prop out the back. Smoothie plates for the front wheels. She's mint.
I did this on my Arctic cat 1000 about eight years ago I only used four barrels and it was kick ass people loved it at the off-road parks
Now put 4 sand paddles on and try again! Rooster tails for days boys

So sickk guys. Want to see more of this to moving through the water
Love the A team /McGyver music playing in the background
Mount either trolling motors or small outboards on the barrels and use them to help turn it.
Why. Was that the best montage ever!!!
That is cool that is really bad ass good job guys One of the best videos
If you guys put a 6x6 ranger diff in it with the pass through you could weld a prop shaft on the pass through of the diff and mount a prop to the rear diff, that way you can still use the engine to propell yourself
Omg!! The what!!??? The barrelts! 🤣Y'all are awesome
sometimes I skip through the build laps but that Music made me watch the whole thing! Haha Love you guys!
Awesome video guys!
Stopped watching after 2 have you guys been drinking. Now excited to finish the rest of video.

Also skid plate going from the front barrel under the front of the vehicle help get over the water better
Hook a long shaft outboard to the tailgate so it can go faster In the water
I can just tell by the thumbnail this is gonna be the next greatest thing when do I get to get one
Try mounting the tires backwards for more propulsion;)
Steve and Leo Veganfield killing it. Good job!
So glad that your plans came together and worked out!👍✌️😎 Maybe try some paddle tires?🤔😉🏁
Great. Looking forward to the improved version.
In This Episode- The DNR sites the crew for not registering a boat, 'Barrelts' are invented, Matt mans a safety jetski, Frankie makes a devastating comment about ownership of a strapon then pees on camera, Rich Rules, & Leo Swears!
One hell of a barrelt montage.
I can’t wait to see this thing evolve, you should put some bilge pumps in it. Maybe propel it with a fan in the bed, that would give you turning ability too.
Backwoods Blueberries, best place for berries and Rangetoons it seems.
Trolling motor, like a 24 or 36 volt, you could go trolling for walleye on Lake St. Clair. LOL. Great video. Well done.
This was definitely fun to watch 😂 kinda makes me think you guys should do a Argo build
THIS WAS SO FUN!!! I was certain it would be very buoyant. As a kid I had a Yamaha Yfm 100 Champ. It was a ATV, shaft driven, hard tail and maybe 2” of front travel. I jumped off to chase a catfish one evening. When my 100 lbs got off the machine, the tires themselves was enough to have it start gently floating with the current in the light flowing Gila River My opinion, (what I’d like to see) if you could lower the pontoons/bareltz and or get shorter paddle(boat) tires and maybe not have but 2” to 4” of rubber submerged, no rim... I think your propulsion would be quite sufficient. Youz guyz probably already realized this but, the load barring on the suspension is probably almost nonexistent after the barrel to take the load. So, it’s basically at full drupe while floating. Actually the exhaust, because the treads were so submerged, may have been your only actual propulsion. Again, SO FUN.
All you need now is a trolling motor on the front that hooks to a tie rod to steer.
Would really like to see you revisit this with a makeshift transom and a little outboard motor
G.O.A.T. Of Float!!!
SXSBlog y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Thank you I needed this today!!!!!
U guys are a blast to watch!!!
Weld a big ol' skid plate to the underside of that front barrelt, make the side barrelts pointy at the front and strap on a outboard...n get you an offroad party boat!
Holy cow what happened to the other half of Steve? LOL good job Steve!
We welded ours together 4 wide on both sides 3 in front 3 in rear ours worked but it was a hulled out van on a deep ass pond
The side-toon lol I like that it worked
Mount the drums lower raising the RZR more out of the water and get the top half of the tires out of the water too. Keep everybody dry and give better propulsion.
So cool. Thank you for the great entertainment. Keep up the good work!
Too funny!!!! Loved every minute of it!!! This and the 4th of July tire inflation show two of my favorite KZread videos!!! Thanks for another great video.
More episodes like this please!
This is such a single wide trailer idea……aaaand i approve
You need to drill a hole into barrels and but a tire valve stem in to increase the air pressure
The music reminded me of an 80's movie closing credits sound track
Take it a few steps forward. Use inflatable pontoons (like rescue rafts) attached to arms that lower from roll cage top. Use aluminum or space cage design if possible to keep light. Sherp like paddle tires would help but jet ski propulsion would be awesome. Make it a kit to sell.
the song over the build was 🔥🔥
I love watching your content! I thought it was funny the kid knew to hide behind dug to get out of frame. I appreciate what you guys do, keep kicking A!
I love the all new mudlake it's amazing
Now all you need is those balloon tires that are on those beach bikes that go in the water
You should have dlipped tires to opposition direction so paddles will work as better propulsion
U drill a hole in the barrels and put a air connector so you can put more air in them for more floatation
Outboard motor on the back. Hell ya brother
Add two trolling motors to the pontoons. You could control them from the drivers seat.
